True to his word, Chuck arrived at the shop around 7 AM and immediately started working on our funny looking door. When I first walked into the shop Chuck and his dad were rolling a door jig from the back storage area. It was THE jig that was used when our trailer was first built! We came to the right place. Chuck said that the repairs would take about 5 hours so we decided to have breakfast in town. From Watervliet we headed to Elkhart and the RV Hall of Fame. What a fantastic place. If you have any interest in campers, trailers, RV’s this is a must see. We also ran into Al H. the museum historian who we had met at the Tin Can Tourist Rally in May at Camp Dearborn, MI.
What a great source of information! Since we had him cornered I took the opportunity to ask several questions about the RV industry that I had always wondered about.
At about noon we headed back to Watervliet to see how Chuck was doing. When we arrived he was just finishing up. The “new” door looks great. He used the old jig to reshape the inner pan and replace the aluminum skin. He even gave us a bungie cord to fasten the door shut while moving, just in case. Since I have another Dr. appointment on Monday we’re headed back to Columbus yet again. Yes, ladies and gentlemen we will attempt to make another trip and see if this time we can reach our destination without incident! Arrived home about 8 PM with no problems.

Glad to see the Starship Avion is mended. Indiana to Tucson by way of Michigan... very interesting, then again I once went Tucson to Yuma by way of the Grand Canyon. Just remember, Life is an adventure and its not always about the destination. Then again in this case I know you are very anxious and excited to get to your destination.
See you soon! Love, Amy
